Recordist's notes

A long walk into the center of Den Haag, during a busy and enjoyable Saturday afternoon. In first, the very quiet Oude Molsstraat, after, Grote Halstraat with tramways, the reverb in the « Passage » tunnel, the very commercial Grote Marktstraat. Into this street, I go down in the underground tramways station called Den Haag, Spui, near to be a metro station. A very intensive succession of tramway passages. Escalator doing some big noises, and going back outside. Into the Wagenstraat, some street musicians acting a automatic harmonium. Den Haag is a dynamic and very pleasant city.
